9bie/php2shell-bypass-aslr-exp

Security · Python

+385stars on 2026-10-22 · UTC

A proof-of-concept exploit that achieves RCE against PHP 8.4.26 on Apache prefork/mod_php using only HTTP multipart requests, bypassing ASLR via heap and libphp leak, without session_start() or target-side files.

Useful for
  • Reproduce the RCE chain in a local Docker lab from the official php:8.4.26-apache image
  • Study heap leak and libphp base disclosure techniques via malformed multipart POST
  • Verify your PHP deployment's exposure to this session/ASLR bypass scenario
Before using
  • No license is listed in the GitHub data; check the usage terms
  • Installation and requirements have not been verified; review the README before running
